Karl Lippard 600 yard 1911 shooter

[Shark1007]

Anyone know anything about this guy and his 1911 mods? Interesting read, I'd like to hear what the pros say.

Apparently the guy shot a 1000 yard open sights record with a 1911. We used to try it at Fort Benning with "rain fire" where we shot way high then watched where they landed with spotter scopes.

Neat stuff. That barrel link looks like good design.

You will get a reply. There are actually some very knowledgeable people on here.

That guy has loaded up on the patents! Nice looking work!

There are some extremely competent folks here, no doubt.

If this guy has the patience to shoot 1000 meters with 230 grain ball, he might be interesting to speak with. Heck, you could fire, shave and then look for impact on target. 830fps, 1000 meters... long time in flight.
